White House Counsel’s Office spokesperson Ian Sams declared the classified document ordeal a done deal Tuesday afternoon.

“There is no case. The case is closed. It’s time to move on," Sams told reporters outside the executive mansion.

"When a prosecutor spends 15 months investigating a case only to determine that there is no case here and that there will be no charges, and that the case is closed, it only affirms the innocence of the president," Sams said.

The spokesman reiterated that President Biden will convene a task force to study the collection of classified documents during presidential transitions and propose procedural changes.

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) addressed his questioning of former special counsel Robert Hur in a post-hearing appearance on CNN.

After Schiff accused Hur of needlessly politicizing the investigation with his assessment of Biden's memory, the prosecutor shot back that he was not going to "sanitize" his findings.

"It's fair to say that we declined [to prosecute Biden] here because of these facts, they went forward [against Donald Trump] here because of these facts. The two are not the same," Schiff said.

"That is perfectly fine to do without going into gratuitously insulting Donald Trump, any more than gratuitously insulting Joe Biden."

We are expecting reps from the White House counsel's office to speak to the media soon in response to today's hearing with former special counsel Robert Hur.

Texas Democrat Sheila Jackson Lee felt that almost five hours for a hearing on Robert Hur's report was unnecessary.

"As far as I'm concerned, he should have ended the testimony — we should [have] ... at the very beginning [when he said] no criminal charges were warranted for Mr. Joseph Biden," Jackson told CNN.

She juxtaposed President Biden's actions with Donald Trump, whom she knocked for "ludicrous behavior" with regards to his handling of classified documents.

Jackson also posited that Republicans sought to use the hearing as an effort to bolster their impeachment inquiry, but "fell completely short."

"Mr. Hur gave no substance to suggest that there were any impeachable offenses at all."

After the hearing concluded, Rep. Kelly Armstrong contended that Robert Hur's findings didn't quite add up.

"I think the report and the conclusion aren't really consistent with each other," Armstrong (R-ND) said on CNN.

He noted that President Biden had decades of experience in high levels of government and access to a cadre of lawyers and advisers that would have likely told him how to properly handle classified information.

"I think we need answers why there's a two-tier justice system and why ... all three of the last three presidential candidates have met the same exact underlying elements of the crime and only one of them has been prosecuted," Armstrong went on.

Host Jake Tapper pressed him about the obstruction aspect in former President Donald Trump's case, but Armstrong responded by recalling the destruction of Hillary Clinton's private email server.

Former special counsel Robert Hur stoked blowback from liberals during his testimony before the House Judiciary Committee.

Left and right also latched onto their favorite snippets of the nearly five-hour-long testimony to zing the other side.

"Robert Hur is a disgraceful partisan hack who should not have a license to practice law. Choosing him as the special counsel was a shocking lapse by Merrick Garland," said Norman Ornstein, a scholar at the American Enterprise Institute.

"Robert Hur is working very hard to say nothing positive or exculpatory about President Biden, which might have something to do with the fact that he was prepared for this hearing by GOP political operatives," claimed Dan Pfeiffer, ex-senior adviser to former President Barack Obama.

"It’s quite obvious from Robert Hur’s testimony and the accompanying documentation that what Biden did with classified documents was far WORSE than what Trump did. Biden had them much longer, stored them more carelessly in multiple locations, and used them for personal gain!" conservative pundit Dinesh D'Souza wrote.

National Review writer and attorney Jeff Blehar wrote, meanwhile, that anyone who thought the hearing went well for the White House was suffering from "sweaty meth-fueled delusion."

The hearing with former special counsel Robert Hur concluded shortly before 3 p.m., with Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) gaveling out the Judiciary Committee.

The hearing lasted just short of five hours, including a 40-minute recess for votes.

Fresh off his retirement announcement, Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.) grilled the former special counsel about evidence as to whether President Biden willfully retained classified material.

"So how do you overcome that recording where he says, 'I've got classified documents'?" Buck asked. "How do you defend that?"

Hur listed a couple of hypothetical arguments, such as the possibility that Biden "found all the classified stuff downstairs, but then soon thereafter, forgot about the documents" or that "perhaps the documents were there by virtue of staff."

The former special counsel further reiterated that "it would be difficult for the government to prove beyond a reasonable doubt" that Biden willfully retained the material.

Former special counsel Robert Hur briefly offered an explanation of what he means by "willful" in response to a question about his decision not to charge President Biden.

"What a jury has to conclude is that someone knew that their conduct was illegal when they engage in [it], that it's intentional," he explained in response to Rep. Russell Fry (R-SC). "It's not accidental or involuntary."

Fry had suggested that Hur had found evidence that Biden willfully retained classified documents.

Hur added that Biden would have had to have acted willfully when he first retained the material, not at the time when Hur questioned him and made the assessment about how a jury would view his mental state.

White House Counsel's Office spokesman Ian Sams has fired back at former special counsel Robert Hur's emphasis that his report "did not exonerate" President Biden.

"This is a very strange thing for the national media—and the Special Counsel [sic]—to fixate on," Sams posted on X after Hur made that point multiple times to the House Judiciary Committee.

"In America, you’re innocent until proven guilty. The ultimate conclusion here was that charges are NOT warranted and the case is CLOSED. In other words, the President was cleared."

Former special counsel Robert Hur said that nothing in his report opined on President Biden's fitness for office.

"Did you say anywhere in your report that you thought not only would he be unfit to handle his own finances, but he'd be unfit for public office?" Rep. Glenn Ivey (D-Md.) asked.

"My report did not include any opinions on those issues," Hur replied.

Hur also confirmed his report did not wade in on guardianship when asked by Ivey.
